I would personally try 12 so it's one a month, but what's important is the goal of making time to read especially if you want to get back into reading.

You could start with 10 or 15! Whatever makes sense to you. Sometimes it’s nice to lowball it and that way you either 1) feasibly meet the goal, or 2) you knock it out of the park and it keeps motivating you to surpass your goal even more.

10 pages of something a day. Start building a habit!

Set a goal of 1, up it when you reach it. That's how I did mine last year. Set mine at 10, upped it every time I met it, made it to 100.

I was an avid reader too and then depression hit me, threw me off, couldn’t focus at all and took a very long break. I started reading again last year in September, I finished the book in December. Which I am very proud of. So this year my goal is 3 books since I have 3 in my TBR. 1 or 2 books for the whole year could be a nice goal to have. But also, you gotta try and see what works for you. Reading books shouldn’t be a pressure.

Maybe don't set a goal. Setting goals makes fun things like reading to chores that need to be crossed off a list 🤷‍♀️ I was am avid reader as a kid and these days I can't concentrate long enough to finish a chapter let alone a book. I still read though ... just not whole books atm. 🤔 or maybe I do because the kid demands to be read to 😅 and reading a kid's book 3 times in a row counts, right?

1 book. Then increase by one after that is done, then add another one to the goal. Keep choosing your next one to read and finishing it (or dnf’ing it, as desired) as time passes. I do this with a book per format to have a variety of stories and able to read them in a variety of places as needed.

What I did to get me back into reading is a "one book a month" challenge. Any kind of book too, can be something super short or a comic, something that's more attractive to you. Also don't forget that your worth is not related to the amount of books that you read 🫶🏻

I say just read for pleasure and don't worry about a goal. If you read 1 book great if you read 100 that's also great. Oh and listening to books totally counts don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

I usually start with 10 if I've been in a slump and it's okay if I don't meet it, and it's great if I do. I agree with others that you don't *need* a goal, but it's also okay if you find a goal motivating. All brains are different.
